    I’ve never felt this anxious or depressed as I do right now it feels like a hollow feeling inside of me! My wife thinks I should see my primary doctor to get me on some medication but I’m not sure I want to, I’m def stopping caffeinated coffee and just going decaf or good tea even with caffeine tea doesn’t have the same effect on me

    That hollow feeling. The empty hole is exactly where I'm at jose. I'm up at 5 am walking in the woods crying every day. It won't leave me .
    My advice is speak to as many people as possible. If you can identify anything that maybe making you feel sad or fear?

    On a side note I stopped meds 10 days ago. It's been murder but it's not for me. Too many reasons why. 
    Some people benefit from meds .

    Yeah it’s like I’m always hungry but no appetite for eating just thoughts flying through my head the state of affairs here in the states is one of the factors, my son told me yesterday that he’s been having same symptoms and he’s relationship with his girlfriend is coming to an end that’s also affecting me as if I’m braking up instead of him ughh

    I'm no doctor, but yours sounds more situational than clinical requiring meds. But def go see your doc. But be wary if he/she just throws a prescription at you. Therapy should always be the first go to unless it's an emergency.

    That shared sorrow from your son sounds relatable. Empath , taking on the pain of close ones. Or even people you don't know can get you like that

    Hang in there josevolution and lastexitlondon .  I know it's hard to do sometimes- I've been battling anxiety for more years than I care to think about- but the better days come.  Give them a chance to come around again.  I'm with you in that struggle.

    Yep I’ve only felt it before when my 1st real love kicked me to the curb! This hit me a bit different because we really liked the woman in my son’s life, but in reality I need professional help to help me deal with everything that’s spinning in my head! Hope you are ok today and happy Father’s Day to you

    Happy father's day to you.
     Today I saw all 4 of my kids and all I do is go on about my problems. It's unacceptable I'm not worth being around

    I understand I keep most of my feelings to myself so as not to be a drag on my family even talking to my adult son I try to listen to him and be supportive even though I’m a bit disappointed in him I’m not letting on

    I feel for you Jose , I hope you can still enjoy a smoke or drink or whatever releases you may use. Because,
    I gave up drink nearly a year ago and it's been the worst year of my life.
    They say it makes you depressed. What if you are mental anyway.Never a release or peace . Never.
    Seriously don't have any good days or times anymore live in a constant state of distress and fear. I was never like that full time when I had a drink. 
    Escape 
    It's no crime to escape.
    There's no time to escape.
    All those yesterdays

    Ah I’m sure you are a fine human and father thanks for the kind words but I feel like I should have done so much more for my kids.

    I think we all can feel that way. 
    My dad left when I was 8 and I swore I would never leave my kids. And 10 years ago I had to leave , many reasons but my ex wife turned out to be gay. 
    So I will always have that to live with. The 3 elder ones I had to leave are now 26( just moved into his own property with a lovely girl), 23 and just graduated university. And 21 still at college. They are getting on.
    But it's always me who left. I left with nothing. I met a pj fan we had a baby and I live with them and her son. 
    The baby is now 8 in a month and as I type my 21 year old has come to visit for a short while. They all say it's not my fault. But to me it will always be my fault

    My mom is suffering from extreme anxiety right now, but apparently isn't aware of it or won't acknowledge it. I know her better than anyone on earth. I underatand anxiety very well, so get what is happening, but she is of the silent generation, and won't do the things that we know will help, like therapy or medication. She has good reason to be suffering from this. She just finished weeks of radiation therapy for breast cancer, she is waiting for a scan to see of she has lung cancer, she recently had brain surgery to solve essential tremours (right brain this time, left brain in 10 months), for which we had to to travel across the country... she is 79 years old, and... amazingly vibrant despite all these issues, but also just crumbling from constant anxiety. 
    So yeah, she's flipping out, but in some state of denial about her anxiety over it all. I'm finding that it is causing me extreme anxiety as well. I love her more than anyone else on the face of the planet, and feel pretty overwhelmed by my worry for her, and also struggle with the knowledge that both of my parents are going to doe pretty fucking soon, inevitably. I know most people go through this, but i also think it's even harder for someone like me: no spouse or kids to fall back on. Rough ride.

    PS - if anyone knows someone with essential tremors, contact me. The very specialized treatment that my mother had is a fucking miracle, but hard to arrange. Only one place in all of Canada offers it, and i think only the Mayo Clinic in the US does it.... free in Canada, cray-cray expensive in the US, lol.

    Health is the biggest fear for me. Understandable that she is scared. I wish her all the very best and peace of mind if it can be possible
